<p><em>Information Design Journal</em> (IDJ) is a peer-reviewed international journal that bridges the gap between research and practice in information design.</p><p>IDJ is a platform for discussing and improving the design, usability, and overall effectiveness of ‘content put into form’ — of verbal and visual messages shaped to meet the needs of particular audiences. IDJ offers a forum for sharing ideas about the verbal, visual, and typographic design of print and online documents, multimedia presentations, illustrations, signage, interfaces, maps, quantitative displays, websites, and new media. IDJ brings together ways of thinking about creating effective communications for use in contexts such as workplaces, hospitals, airports, banks, schools, or government agencies. On the one hand, IDJ explores the design of information, with a focus on writing, the visual design, structure, format, and style of communications. On the other hand, IDJ seeks to better understand the ways that people understand, interpret, and use communications, with a focus on audiences, cultural differences, readers’ expectations, and differences between populations such as teenagers, elderly or the blind.</p><p>IDJ publishes research papers, case studies, critiques of information design and related theory, reviews of current literature, research-in-progress, interviews with thought leaders, discussions of practical problems, book reviews, and conference information. Contributions should be relevant to a multi-disciplinary audience from fields such as: communication design, writing, typography, discourse studies, applied linguistics, rhetoric, usability research, instructional design and graphic design. Contributions should be based on appropriate evidence and make clear their implications for practice.</p><p>[Volumes 12 (2004) and 13 (2005) were published under the title <em>Information Design Journal</em> + <em>Document Design</em>]</p>

<p>This international, peer-reviewed journal aims to advance knowledge in the growing and strongly interdisciplinary area of Interaction Studies in biological and artificial systems. Understanding social behaviour and communication in biological and artificial systems requires knowledge of evolutionary, developmental and neurobiological aspects of social behaviour and communication; the embodied nature of interactions; origins and characteristics of social and narrative intelligence; perception, action and communication in the context of dynamic and social environments; social learning, adaptation and imitation; social behaviour in human-machine interactions; the nature of empathic understanding, behaviour and intention reading; minimal requirements and systems exhibiting social behaviour; the role of cultural factors in shaping social behaviour and communication in biological or artificial societies.</p><p>The journal welcomes contributions that analyze social behaviour in humans and other animals as well as research into the design and synthesis of robotic, software, virtual and other artificial systems, including applications such as exploiting human-machine interactions for educational or therapeutic purposes. Fields of interest comprise evolutionary biology, artificial intelligence, artificial life, robotics, psychology, cognitive neuroscience, computational neuroscience, cognitive modeling, ethology, social and biological anthropology, palaeontology, animal behaviour, linguistics.</p><p> <em>Interaction Studies</em> publishes research articles, research reports, and book reviews.</p><p><em>Interaction Studies</em> is a successor of <a href="15699757"><em>Evolution of Communication</em>.</a> While IS significantly broadens the original aims and scope of EoC, we clearly continue to encourage researchers studying the origins of human language and the evolutionary continuum of communication in general to submit high quality manuscripts to <em>Interaction Studies</em>.</p>

<em>The International Journal of Corpus Linguistics</em> (IJCL) publishes original research covering methodological, applied and theoretical work in any area of corpus linguistics. Through its focus on empirical language research, IJCL provides a forum for the presentation of new findings and innovative approaches in any area of linguistics (e.g. lexicology, grammar, discourse analysis, stylistics, sociolinguistics, morphology, contrastive linguistics), applied linguistics (e.g. language teaching, forensic linguistics), and translation studies. Based on its interest in corpus methodology, IJCL also invites contributions on the interface between corpus and computational linguistics. The journal has a major reviews section publishing book reviews as well as corpus and software reviews. The language of the journal is English, but contributions are also invited on studies of languages other than English. IJCL occasionally publishes special issues (for details please contact the editor). All contributions are peer-reviewed.

<p>The aim of the International Journal of
Language and Culture (IJoLC) is to disseminate cutting-edge research that

The International Journal of
Learner Corpus Research (IJLCR) is a forum for researchers who
collect, annotate, and analyse computer learner corpora and/or use them to
investigate topics in Second Language Acquisition and linguistic theory in
general, inform foreign language teaching, develop learner-corpus-informed
tools (e.g. courseware, proficiency tests, dictionaries and grammars) or
conduct natural language processing tasks (e.g. annotation, automatic spell-
and grammar-checking , L1 identification). IJLCR aims to highlight the
multidisciplinary and broad scope of practice that characterizes the field and
publishes original research covering methodological, theoretical and applied
work in any area of learner corpus research. IJLCR features research papers,

<p>The <em>International Review of Chinese Linguistics</em> (IRCL) aims to promote and consolidate research efforts in Chinese linguistics. Current journals in the field of Chinese linguistics contain little or no serious book reviews of books; IRCL aims to fill this gap in serial publications in Chinese linguistics. IRCL contains commissioned topical reviews and book reviews on aspects of Chinese and related languages which have language specific, universal, topological and areal significance. IRCL will also focus on contributions to the field of theoretical or indigenous traditions. Each book or topic to be reviewed will be under multiple treatment by different scholars in the field.</p><p>The journal was discontinued after issue 1:1 (1996).</p>

A huge amount of communication is nowadays carried out on the internet, as is reflected in online social networking sites, instant messaging interactions and the emergence of norms of production and interpretation in online communities as regards the discursive construction of digital selves, digital communicative action and digital codes of interaction, among other interfaces for virtual interaction. Internet Pragmatics is a response to the emerging challenges of applying pragmatic perspectives to internet or technologically mediated interaction. The journal provides a unique, fully peer-reviewed forum dedicated to cutting-edge research into internet pragmatics, examining how people use the internet and social media to fulfill their communicative needs, and how those virtual interactions entail pragmatic implications on human relationships, identities and social or professional collectivities. It also seeks to explore and expound how online communication is both similar to and different from offline interaction, how the online world and the offline world are both distinct and inseparable but also intertwined in a number of ways, and how online or digital identities impact on people’s language use in offline interaction and vise versa.

Internet Pragmatics promotes interdisciplinary dialogue and interface studies between pragmatics and other fields including but not limited to sociology, media studies, digital communication, discourse analysis, cognitive science, anthropology, psychology, philosophy and even neuroscience. The journal intends to contribute to a better and deeper understanding of language use and interaction in cyberspace and of human beings in and across mediated contexts.

<p><em>Interpreting </em>serves as a medium for research and debate on all aspects of interpreting, in its various modes, modalities (spoken and signed) and settings (conferences, media, courtroom, healthcare and others).
